The term personal data is defined in the GDPR. Accordingly, means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. This includes, for example, your civil name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth.
There are various legal grounds for the processing of personal data. If we need your data to fulfil a contract with you or to respond to enquiries from you regarding a contract, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If we obtain your consent to process specific data, the legal basis is Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR. We process some data for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests, whereby a balancing of your interests requiring protection and our legitimate interests is always undertaken. The legal basis for this is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. If processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Below we explain how we process personal data via our website.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
You have the option to register with us and create a customer account.
We use the double opt-in procedure for registration. This means that after you have provided us with your e-mail address, we will send you a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm your registration. If you do not confirm this within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from the database. Upon confirmation, we will store your data for the storage period indicated in the table. The data is stored for the use of ConnectedCooking. Once you have registered, you will receive personal, password-protected access and will be able to view and manage the data you have stored.
Furthermore, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration as part of our accountability obligations and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. Due to the fulfilment of accountability, we have a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in processing the data of the double opt-in procedure.

Cookies are files that are placed on your computer by a website you visit and allow your browser to be recognised. Cookies transmit information to the site that sets the cookie. Cookies can store various information, such as your language setting, the duration of visits on our website or the entries you have made there. This prevents you, for example, from having to re-enter required form data each time you use the site. The information stored in cookies can also be used to recognise preferences and tailor content according to areas of interest.
There are different types of cookies: Session cookies are sets of data that are only temporarily held in the working memory and are deleted when you close your browser. Permanent or persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. With this type of cookie, the information can also be stored in text files on your computer. However, you can also delete these cookies at any time via your browser settings.
First-party cookies are stored by the website you are currently visiting. Only that website is allowed to read information from these cookies. Third-party cookies are stored by organisations that do not operate the website you are visiting. These cookies are used by marketing companies, for example.
The legal basis for possible processing of personal data by means of cookies and their storage period may vary. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis is Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR. If the data processing is based on our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest.
We use cookies to ensure the proper operation of the website, to provide basic functionality, to measure reach and - with your consent - to tailor our services to preferred areas of interest.
You can delete cookies already stored on your end device at any time. If you want to prevent cookies from being stored, you can do this via the settings in your internet browser. You can find instructions for common browsers here: Internet Explorer , Firefox , Google Chrome , Google Chrome mobile , Microsoft Edge , Safari , Safari mobile . Alternatively, you can also install ad blockers. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
When accessing our website, all users of our website are also informed by an information banner about our use of cookies and referred to this data protection notice. Users will also be asked for their consent to the use of certain cookies, in particular those relevant for the personalisation of services and for marketing measures. Consent can be revoked at any time with future effect by calling up the tracking settings via the link at the end of each page (footer) and removing the tick behind the processing for which consent had been given.

We use the Usercentrics service to manage consents on our website. Usercentrics is software developed by Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich, Germany.
Usercentrics determines the language used by your browser. A cookie is set to check whether you have already made a selection in our cookie management tool during a previous visit to our website. This cookie is necessary because it allows the website to recognise whether or not you have consented to tracking. In addition, a log file is created in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. This file contains the IP address in anonymised form, information about the browser that was used, data about the scope of the consent, and the date and time of the visit.
The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in accordance with point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
The purpose of data processing is the user-friendly and legally compliant design of our website. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to give or withdraw consent and increase the transparency of data processing by means of cookies, pixels, tags or similar on our website. Our legitimate interest also lies in the purpose of data processing.
Your consent or refusal to use / receive services that may also set cookies is stored on your end device in its local storage. The consent data (consent granted and revocation of consent) remain stored on your computer until the local storage is deleted. To enable matching, Usercentrics stores this as hash values for 3 years.
In providing our ConnectedCooking service, we use the Userlane software developed by Userlane GmbH, Rosenheimer Strasse 143c, Munich, Germany ("Userlane"). We use Userlane to provide you as our customers and users of ConnectedCooking with instructions and assistance for our platform, in the form of virtual assistance directly within our ConnectedCooking range: Userlane enables us to explain features and operation to you during use when and where this becomes relevant. We therefore use Userlane to increase the user-friendliness of our platform for you, by making it even easier for you to use the functions provided.
For this purpose, Userlane processes your IP address in pseudonymised form as well as pseudonymised login information (browser type and version, time zone, language settings, operating system used) and other usage data (interaction data including usage logs & server log files).
The use is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR in an optimisation of our online offering.
Userlane also uses cookies (small text files) that are stored on your computer to enable user-specific guidance through ConnectedCooking.

Users will also be asked for their consent to the use of certain cookies, in particular those relevant for the personalisation of services and for marketing measures. You can object to the processing of your data at any time with future effect by changing the configuration in the tracking settings (see above, under Cookies). However, we would like to point out that our website can only be used to a limited extent (without a help option) without these cookies.
Your data will be stored within the framework of the legal obligations and then deleted. In principle, personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the aforementioned purposes and legal obligations to provide evidence and to store data do not oblige the company to store such data for a longer period of time.
We have concluded a contract with Userlane for contract data processing in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, in which Userlane undertakes to process the data only in accordance with our instructions and to comply with the EU level of data protection. Userlane operates its services on the infrastructure of Microsoft Azure, an offer of Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd., One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18/Ireland, exclusively within the EU in data centres in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (for further information, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/ ).
Further information on data protection and the processing of personal data by Userlane can be found here: https://www.userlane.com/trustcenter/privacy-policy/ .
For reasons of transparency, we would like to point out that we use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager does not collect any personal data itself. Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small pieces of code that are used to measure traffic and visitor behaviour, track the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting, and test and optimise websites, among other things. We use the Tag Manager for all digital services listed in this Data Privacy Statement. If you have deactivated it, Google Tag Manager will take this deactivation into account. For more information on Google Tag Manager, see: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html .
For the purpose of analysing and optimising our websites, we use various services which are described below. We use these services to analyse how many users visit our site, which information is most in demand or how users find the offer. We also collect data on which website a user came to our website from (the referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. This helps us to design our offers in a user-friendly way, to find errors and to improve our offers.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland.
Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA, in order to establish a secure level of data protection with the service provider, we must comply with the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, which allows the transfer of personal data to a third country in individual cases.
The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services associated with website and Internet usage to the website operator.
The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
The legal basis for the described data processing is your consent, point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by changing your selection in the tracking settings (see above, under Cookies). Alternatively, you can delete your cookies (all or only from this website). The banner with the selection options is then displayed again.

On our website, we use the open source web analytics software Matomo, a service of “InnoCraft Ltd”, a company based at 7 Waterloo Quay PO625 Wellington, New Zealand. Since InnoCraft is based outside the EU, InnoCraft has appointed a representative in the EU: ePrivacy Holding GmbH, Große Bleichen 21, 20354 Hamburg (privacy@innocraft.com). The software is only operated by its own servers.
Cookies are used to analyse the use of the website. For this purpose, the usage information collected in the cookie (including your shortened IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes. With Matomo, no data is transmitted to servers beyond our control. Your IP address is immediately anonymised during this process, so that you as a user are not identifiable to us. The information collected about your use of this website will not be passed on to third parties.
We use the data collected for the statistical analysis of user behaviour for the purpose of optimising the functionality and stability of the website and for marketing purposes. Our interest in and purpose of data processing lies in optimising our website, adapting the content and improving our offer. The interests of the users are sufficiently protected by anonymisation. We only store the analysis data for as long as the purpose of the data processing requires, but for a maximum of 14 months.
The legal basis for the described data processing is your consent, point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Once you have given your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with future effect by changing your selection in the cookie settings (see above, Tracking settings). Alternatively, you can delete your cookies (all or only from this website). The banner with the selection options is then displayed again.
We use services from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on our website. If you access a page in which a YouTube video is embedded, a connection to the YouTube servers is normally established and the content transmitted to your browser and displayed on the website.
The use of our consent management tool (Usercentrics) will prevent this if you have not consented to data processing with regard to YouTube. Due to the integration of YouTube, no data is transferred without your consent.
In this context, we also use the extended data protection option provided by YouTube to protect your personal data. According to YouTube, however, data is only transmitted to the YouTube server in "extended data protection mode" if you actively start the video. If you are logged in to YouTube at this time, the information about the videos you have viewed will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website. Further information on YouTube's privacy policy is provided by Google at the following link: Google: Data Privacy Statement & Terms of Use
By activating this in the tracking settings, you agree that YouTube receives data through your use, which may also be used to analyse your usage behaviour for market research and marketing purposes. The legal basis for the described data processing is therefore your consent, point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect by changing your selection in the tracking settings (see above, under Cookies). Alternatively, you can delete your cookies (all or only from this website). The banner with a link to the selections is then displayed again. If you do not consent or withdraw your consent, your use of the service will be restricted.
We use the Google Ads service. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
This means that we place Google Ads and also use Google remarketing, conversion tracking and the conversion linker as part of this. The advertisements are displayed on Google’s search results pages and on websites of the Google advertising network. We also use ads remarketing lists for advertisements. This allows us to customise campaigns for users who have previously visited our website. The services allow us to combine our advertisements with certain search terms or to place advertisements for previous visitors promoting, for example, services that visitors have viewed on our website. This means that we can display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a "Google ad" within Google Search or on other websites).
For interest-based offers, an analysis of online user behaviour is necessary. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. When clicking on an advertisement or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user’s computer by Google. These cookies have a duration of 90 days. The information collected by means of the respective cookie is used to target the visitor in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notices on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the conversion linker, we can also store click data to effectively measure conversion tracking information. This allows us to see whether users perform a certain action on the website specified by us (e.g. whether services are ordered) after clicking on an ad placed by us via Google Ads. We therefore use the conversion linker tag on our pages, which you can land on as a visitor if you have clicked on one of our advertisements. With the conversion linker tag, we are then able to record our ad click information in the URLs of the conversion page and store it in our own first-party cookies (instead of third-party cookies) on our domain.
With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information that a user has clicked on an advertisement and been redirected to our websites. The information obtained in this way is only used for statistical evaluation to optimise the advertisements. We do not receive any information that could personally identify visitors. Your IP address will be transmitted to Google, but since we use Google Analytics IP masking on this website, your IP address will be anonymised.
The log data is anonymised after 9 months and the cookie information is anonymised after 18 months.
The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our advertisements and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that was tagged with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can trace which search terms were clicked on our advertisement particularly often and which advertisements lead to the user contacting us via the contact form.
You can find more information on data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de .
Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA, in order to establish a secure level of data protection with the service provider, we must comply with the standard data protection clauses adopted by the EU Commission pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, which allows the transfer of personal data to a third country in individual cases.
The legal basis for the described data processing is your consent, point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by changing your selection in the tracking settings (see above, under Cookies). Alternatively, you can delete your local storage from this website. The banner with a link to the selections is then displayed again.
You also have the option of changing the display setting ( https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=de ) to select the types of Google advertisements or to deactivate interest-based advertisements on Google.
Our website uses the social bookmarking services of the following providers:
Social bookmarks are internet bookmarks that allow users of such a service to collect links and news stories. These are only integrated on our website as a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the embedded graphic, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider, i.e. only then will user information be transmitted to the respective provider. For information on the handling of your personal data when using these websites, please refer to the respective data protection provisions of the providers.
When creating your customer account, you have the option to agree to receive notifications from ConnectedCooking. These email notifications contain information about transactions in your ConnectedCooking account such as the registration of a new cooking system. Each user can individually configure additional notifications on cooking system behaviour in the user profile. The e-mail address you provided during the registration process and verified by means of the double opt-in procedure will be used for the notifications.
The legal basis for sending the technical information selected by you in the user profile is your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent for the future at any time by deactivating the notifications in the user profile.
You can contact us on our e-mail address. We will, of course, use the personal data transmitted to us in this way exclusively for the purpose for which you provide it when contacting us. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Any communication of this information is expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Insofar as this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel, if necessary, in order to respond to your request. Of course, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future.
Your data, which we have received in the course of contacting you, will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is necessary or desired by you.
As the controller, our company has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps. Absolute protection cannot be guaranteed; in any case, sending unencrypted e-mails is not secure. We therefore ask you not to send sensitive data by unencrypted e-mail, but to use either encrypted communication channels or the postal service.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed. We will only share your personal information with third parties if:
In the case of data transfer outside the European Union, the high level of data protection in Europe does not apply. Where data is transferred, it is possible that there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission as defined in Article 45(1), (3) GDPR. This means that the EU Commission has not yet decided that this country ensures an adequate level of protection in accordance with the data protection standards of the European Union on the basis of the EU GDPR, and we have therefore made the above-mentioned appropriate guarantees.
Possible risks that may not be completely excluded in connection with the transfer of data are in particular:
We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your personal data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.
Every data subject has a right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, the right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR and the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR. With regard to the right of access and the right to erasure, the restrictions according to Sections 34 and 35 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) apply.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data.
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the applicability of the General Data Protection Regulation, i.e. before 25 May 2018. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.
Pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR, you have the right to object to processing of personal data concerning you at any time. In the event of your objection to processing for the purpose of direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. Please note that the objection is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the objection is not affected by this.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have described. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or explain to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection.
Our websites may contain links to websites of other providers. We would like to point out that this data privacy statement applies exclusively to the websites of ConnectedCooking. We have no influence on and do not check whether other providers comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
